Everything you need to know about serums
01. Order matters
It’s a precarious relationship between serums and moisturisers as the serum will be ruined if moisture is applied before the serum. At the same time, an already applied serum needs moisture after application in order to maximise its benefits. In the latter, the moisturiser acts as a barrier that helps seal in the ingredients from the serum. A bit of mnemonic advice is to apply skin care products from thinnest to thickest.

02. Personal treatment
Facial serums are used to treat specific skin concerns and it is crucial that you are aware of the concern you’re trying to better in order for your skin to feel any improvement. Not all serums work the same. How well they work depends on the active ingredients, the formulation, and your skin concern. We want to make it easy to understand your skin and the treatments that are necessary to keep it hydrated and plump. Proper guidance is the source to active, appealing, and amazing skin. You can find specific products to match your skin type or skin concern at our site.

03. Persistence and routine
You can use a serum all year round. Preferably, you would apply the serum every morning and evening before your moisturiser. If you want to achieve the greatest effect, you should use it for at least one month. Have your skin concern been improved during that month, you can slowly start to wind down the usage of the product or change the product with another product with other nurturing ingredients. However, it is all about finding the right rhythm for your skin care regime, making persistence and routine the key to beautiful skin.

04. Better late than never
It is never too late to welcome a new favourite product to your skin care regime. There is no certain age that one should consider starting to use a serum. It is less about age and more about your skin type and concern. Nevertheless, some serums may be formulated with a specific age range in mind as is the case with our Plumping Serum (link), which is especially for you who is looking for a serum with an anti-wrinkle effect. Your skin’s needs change as you get older, and you will have to consider how to nurture it best possible.
